They have internal courtyards, open stairwells and skylights to bring light and air into otherwise dark and narrow interiors. Shophouses here display different architectural influences, often depending on when they were built. There is the minimalist approach, taken in the Early Style with little to no ornamentation, the austere elegance of the Second Transitional Style and the streamlined modernity of the period, which eschewed rich detailing and tiling for sleek columns and arches instead. It is the Late Style that is the most head-turning, with its bold use of colour and fancy tiles, as well as the eclectic mix of Chinese, Malay and European elements. Think of Chinese porcelain-chip friezes and bat-wing shaped air vents co- existing with Malay timber fretwork, French windows, Portuguese shutters and Corinthian pilasters. Take a stroll along these five-foot ways, and see these beautiful examples of historic Singaporean architecture for yourself. This service is provided in partnership with Expedia.

Heritage gems With many beautifully preserved examples on hand today, the shophouses in Singapore are prime examples of timeless architectural appeal. However, when we think of co-living spaces, we usually conjure up images of a shared space in new condominiums. Singapore-based Figment , a new player in the industry, is shaking things up by turning co-living into a luxury cultural experience. Figment founder Fang Low grew up in and around conservation shophouses in Singapore, raised by art-hoarding parents. In his previous job as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, he also moonlighted by curating art exhibitions out of vacant shophouses. While curating an exhibition in a shophouse, he realised that many exhibition-goers had enjoyed viewing the shophouses just as much as the art. He added that many people had little knowledge that one could actually live in a shophouse. There are residential shophouses in Singapore but most have exorbitant rental prices. For this new initiative, Figment gave three local design studios total autonomy in transforming three shophouse interiors. It was total creative destruction. We had agreed to let Colin Seah paint my childhood home, a two-storey baroque shophouse on Blair Road, entirely white, from floor to ceiling. Figment was and still is the reset button, reimagining adaptive reuse of our shophouse vernacular as boutique homes and more. After its redesign, it was named Canvas House as its interior was completely whitewashed to form a blank slate for residents. One such anchor, or work of art, is the shophouse, with its Islamic rain eaves, Chinese-inspired stuccoes, and European pilasters. Figment carefully curates everything in its living spaces from various local creatives, and each shophouse is designed to suit the history of the area it is situated in. We see ourselves simply as stewards of our culture and heritage, and aim to become a platform for showcasing elements of local art, architecture and design. Learn More About Shophouses in Singapore

Shophouses In Singapore The shophouse is one of the most popular forms of local Singaporean architecture. It is symbolic of the heritage of Singapore, and as a result they are more commonly found in the more historic cities throughout South East Asia Shophouses have a few features that make them distinctive from other buildings you may find in south-eastern Asia. A Key Part of Urban Conservation Singapore takes their urban planning and development extremely seriously in terms of maintaining the cultural heritage of Singapore whilst embracing the future and expansion. To date, conservation status has been given to over buildings in more than areas. The facade ornamentation draws inspiration from the Chinese, European, and Malay traditions, but with the European elements dominant. The degree of a shophouse's ornamentation depended on the prosperity of its owner and the surrounding area; shophouse facades in cities and former boom towns are generally more elaborate than spartan rural shophouses. Masonry-heavy Art Deco and styles eventually prevailed between the s and s. Modern variations through the s up to the s were devoid of ornamental decorations, and tended to be designed with imposing geometrical and utilitarian forms inspired by International and Brutalist styles. Beginning in the s, buildings began to adopt postmodern and revival styles. Shophouses in Xinhua Old Street , . The front of the shop on the ground floor in most cases is used for commercial purposes, while the upper floors are intended for residential use. If the ground floor include living spaces usually located at the back , it may be used as reception, guestrooms, and formal family rooms with ancestor altars. Cooking stalls rented a portion of space from the shop owner and served specific food such as fried noodles, fried rice, Indian pancakes, noodle soup. A variety of drinks was served by a different stall, sometimes by the shop owner. Such stalls have been replaced by food courts. Street corners were prized as the best location for food and drink shops. Modern shophouses are made of reinforced concrete. Loads are carried by beams and piers, built on a grid system. The spacing of the piers is determined by economic factors: wider beams require larger amounts of steel. A plot of land that measures 40 m wide and 12 m deep, could be used to create 10 shophouses, each measuring 4 m x 12 m, or eight shophouses measuring 5 m x 12 m, or something in between. Walls are infill , which means that a row of shophouses can easily be reconfigured, to allow a business to occupy two or more shophouses, by simply removing the dividing walls. When continuing construction, new rebar is tied to the existing rebar to allow the beam to be continued, thereby removing the need for new structural piers. The shophouses of Singapore evolved from the earlyth century during the colonial era. It was first introduced by who specified in his Town Plan for Singapore the uniformity and regularity of the building, the material used as well as features of the buildings such as a covered passageway. In Singapore, the Land Acquisition Act for urban development, passed during the earlys and amended in , affected owners of shophouses and worked a significant compensatory unfairness upon them when their shophouses were seized to satisfy redevelopment efforts. Owners and occupants of colonial shophouses in Malaysia underwent different experiences involving a series of rent control legislation put in place between and In the decades following the introduction of the act in , development of sites that the shophouses rest on were often unprofitable due to poor rental takings, leading to historical urban districts stagnating but being effectively preserved, although entire blocks of shophouses were known to be demolished for a variety of reasons during the upsurge of the economy from government acquisitions to destruction from fires. With the repeal of the act in , landowners were eventually granted authority to determine rent levels and be enticed to develop or sell off pre shophouses; [17] as a result, poorer tenants were priced out and many of the buildings were extensively altered or demolished for redevelopment over the course of the s and s. Shophouses have also been documented to be illegally sealed for use to cultivate and harvest edible bird's nests , leading to long-term internal damage of the buildings. Many shophouses in Singapore that escaped the effects of the Land Acquisition Act have now undergone a revival of sorts, with some restored and renovated as budget hotels, tea houses, and cinemas. Some shophouses are now considered architectural landmarks and have substantially increased in value. While the preservation of historic shophouses has suffered substantially in heavily developed states like , , , , and , shophouses in and which state capitals, Malacca Town and George Town , have been gazetted as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in received more care and attention due to emerging historical preservation movements in both states, experiencing similar levels of rejuvenation as in Singapore. However, the gentrification of both cities has led to older tenants of shophouses being driven out by the rising costs of renting or buying properties within historical districts.
